I woke this morning, eager to resume a mix I had ben working on last night.
Coffee in hand, calm and prepared to do the best mixing work I've ever done,
I turned on the Paris comp......turned on the Paris comp......TURNED ON THE
PARIS COMP! It didn't come on.......It kept getting stuck on the screen that
says something like " We're sorry for the inconvience, but do to a hardware
problem. Windows was unable to start" so I try safe mode....same screen.
Yadda Yadda....8 hours later and parts from 2 computers laying on my floor(after
swapping out drivebays, drives, ide cables, power supplies, and taking all
PCI cards and perferials out of the equation) (I stole from my cubase comp
to swap out parts). It ended up being the memory....I think....I'm pretty
sure. I have 2 512 sticks of crucial. When I took the 2nd one out everything
started working. So, I switched them out, and put the 2nd one in the 1st
slot by itself....that worked also (several boots just to be sure) So I put
the previous 1st stick in the 2nd slot, leaving the previous 2nd stick in
the 1st slot...computer won't even post. I switch them back around to their
original positions, and it goes back to the original error screen. I tried
the above permutations in the 1st and 3rd slots, and the 2nd and 3rd slots
and the result is the same, one way, nothing at all, the other, it goes to
the original error screen, but both sticks seem fine by themselves. I've
never had this happen, but I think I've read about it, where a stick can
be bad when mixed with other sticks but seem OK by it self. Does that sound
right??? I've had both sticks working together for about 2 years. Guess
I'll be calling Chris Ludwig tomorrow.
I can limp by on 512 for a couple days I guess.

I have a roll your own PC, MSI MOBO. as soon as I drop in more than 512K of
memory all hell breaks lose. Won't start or will start and keep re starting.
Hardware error messages, crashes, freezes. Tried all the BIOS tricks, on,
off, etc. I've tried 4 different brands of memory. switch them around, no
change.
I love standards and compatibility.
